Abstract
One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for ringless voicemail detection are provided. In an example, a first call attempt to a phone number may be detected. In response to detecting a second call attempt to the phone number occurring within a first threshold timespan of the first call attempt being detected, first processing of the second call attempt is withheld. In response to the first call attempt being cancelled within a second threshold timespan of the first call attempt being detected, second processing of the second call attempt is performed based upon a policy.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a first call attempt through a session initiation protocol (SIP) where the first call attempt specifies an SIP uniform resource indicator (URI) as a communication target;
- in response to detecting a second call attempt specifying the SIP URI and occurring within a first threshold timespan of the first call attempt being received, withholding first processing of the second call attempt;
- and
- in response to the first call attempt being cancelled within a second threshold timespan of the first call attempt being detected, performing second processing of the second call attempt based upon a policy.
A system implementing a session initiation architecture that performs operations comprising:
- receiving a first call attempt through a session initiation protocol (SIP) where the first call attempt specifies an SIP uniform resource indicator (URI) as a communication target;
- in response to detecting a second call attempt specifying the SIP URI and occurring within a first threshold timespan of the first call attempt being received, withholding first processing of the second call attempt;
- and
- in response to the first call attempt being cancelled within a second threshold timespan of the first call attempt being detected, performing second processing of the second call attempt based upon a policy.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed facilitate performance of operations comprising:
- receiving a first call attempt through a session initiation protocol (SIP) where the first call attempt specifies an SIP uniform resource indicator (URI) as a communication target;
- in response to detecting a second call attempt specifying the SIP URI and occurring within a first threshold timespan of the first call attempt being received, withholding first processing of the second call attempt;
- and
- in response to the first call attempt being cancelled within a second threshold timespan of the first call attempt being detected, performing second processing of the second call attempt based upon a policy.
